Subject: [PATCH] Retain first-selected-stripable when removing ATAV

This allows ctrl surfaces (notably Faderport) to keep
editing plugin settings, when some unrelated plugin is removed.

Route::processors_changed calls RouteTimeAxisView::processors_changed,
and if a plugin automation line vanishes ~AutomationTimeAxisView
deselected the track. This triggered a control surface update.
